Cool cool cool

 256.6

Wow. I skipped right over 257 and went for a pound and a half loss yesterday. I suspect some of that might be hydration, so I don't want to lean too hard on that big a loss. 

But I didn't really eat much yesterday. I had coffee and toast for breakfast, and then we hit the road at lunch to drive to Bozeman to look at a truck (didn't end up buying anything) and just grabbed a double cheeseburger and diet Coke at McDonald's. No snacking because we were at a car dealership, and then at dinner I ordered fish tacos that turned out to be one big piece of fish in each taco, so I only ate one and about 2/3 if the other. I also only had a couple of bites of rice and beans (it probably also helped that the whole thing seemed underseasoned and a little disappointing). When we got home I had a sugar free pudding cup. 

The biggest thing yesterday, though, is that I exercised*fanfare*. The dog wanted to go for get daily walk when we got home, and since it was getting dark (close to 8 pm), I didn't want to walk far. We only went party of the way through our usual distance, but I jogged some of it. Now, my jogging is certainly not impressive, and I didn't do very many steps at a time, but I did indeed increase my heart rate, su that counts. I just need to keep trying that. I think it will help. I have to be careful if what it does to my knees and feet, though. I have plantar fasciitis, although that hasn't flared up in a while, and in these last twenty pounds or so my knees have started to bother me some. Ask the more reason to get the weight off. 

Hopefully I can show another loss tomorrow and not bounce back up.
